Film bardzo dobry. Super. Najlepszy jaki widziałem o piramidach w Egipcie. Ale mam kilka pytań: Czyj to pomysł żeby zbudować piramidę? Czy na pewno Faraona? Kto to zaprojektował i na czym? Jak dostarczył rysunki na plac budowy ? Kto wykonał obliczenia inżynierskie i geologiczne? Kto zaprojektował plac budowy? Jak długo trwał proces projektowania samej piramidy? Potem projekt logistyczny. Przygotowanie podłoża, ustawienie "ramp", podział na brygady robotników itp. Kto był kierownikiem budowy? Skąd tylu robtników? Kto w tym samym czasie przygotowywał precyzyjnie docięte bloki skalne i gdzie? (W Asuanie?!) - przez ilu ludzi? Kto w tym czasie uprawiał rolnictwo, gdzie wojsko? Wszyscy budują piramidę? Egipt jest bezpieczny, nie ma wrogów? Czy Starożytny Egipt mógł wtedy skierować całą populację kraju do budowy piramidy? To mi nie pasuje i mam wielkie wątpliwosci. To są pytania, na które kiedyś znajdziemy odpowiedź.

good job from Egypt

[@redwoodcoast]

That was a whole lot of views that no one else has ever captured. It was a very realistic look at those sites...which is quite different from the usual look at just the two big pyramids. It was very much like being there and walking those paths.

Thank you! 😁

@@ancientsitesgirl You're most welcome! I'm definitely looking forward to watching your next episodes! I've never been to Egypt myself but I have developed a very strong connection and interest in Egyptology since I was a little kid, learning about ancient Egyptian mythology on my own in my spare time. So much wisdom, culture, art, spirituality, and technology can be traced to the ancient Egyptian civilisation. Thank you for sharing your journeys here once again and for providing relevant historical information. I truly appreciate that! :)

[@MrKicks-ws5gc]

Very good movie. Cool. The best I've ever seen about the pyramids in Egypt. But I have a few questions: Whose idea is it to build a pyramid? Are you sure the Pharaoh? Who designed it and on what? How did he deliver the drawings to the construction site? Who made the engineering and geological calculations? Who designed the construction site? How long did the process of designing the pyramid take? Then a logistics project. Preparation of the ground, setting of "ramps", division into brigades of workers, etc. Who was the site manager? Where did so many laborers come from? Who at the same time prepared the precisely cut rock blocks and where? (In Aswan ?!) - by how many people? Who was farming at that time, where was the army? Everyone is building a pyramid? Egypt is safe, there are no enemies? Could Ancient Egypt then have directed the country's entire population to build a pyramid? It doesn't suit me and I have great doubts. These are the questions that we will find answers to someday.

[@al2207]

agree , definitively not constructed by any Egyptians without tools and means of transportation , suggestion made by unknown alien civilization some 18,000 years ago with construction equipment we can only dream of

[@nickjenkins6905]

Enjoyed the video Irena - really like the slightly dreamy vibe, muted colour palette and cool music. The mortuary temple is huge and seems out of proportion to the pyramid itself. Shame you can't go in currently - I was in Giza a few weeks back, though, and my guide thought the Great Pyramid would be closing for a while and that they would be reopening Menkaure's instead.

[@ancientsitesgirl]

thank you very much, I will be returning to Giza soon and I will definitely enter this pyramid ❤️✌️

[@dawvideokanal7369]

Thanks for this AMAZING video!! It is EXACTLY how I like it. Nobody shows what you show! Every question which comes in my mind you answer like the casing stones could look like them from peru? And you say,: "Yes, I know" XD Most of the videos here on youtube are boring and not deep, but you did a great job. And one more thing: Thanks for showing all the other sights which nobody shows like this one. Recording work from your friend is also amazing. Also great ambience.

[@ancientsitesgirl]

wow thanks a lot😊

Excellent work Irena! It was a pity you could not go inside. I n Egypt of old they lacked for the wheel; they had not the knowledge of iron or steel; they lacked for the pulley, the capstan and crane; and neglected entirely the rod and the chain. They wanted both square and dividers to measure and had yet to surmount the fair camel for pleasure. Lathes, vices and planes were absent all three, from their workshops where benches should reasonably be. Nor was their timber strictly to hand, but cedarwood, gather’d in Lebanon land. Money in metal they knew not at all, only G R A I N, endowed on the banks of the N I L E. So how to account for such fateful impasse? B E E R , O N I O N S & B R E A D and no Z*** H*****. My calligram detailing the extensive array of tools available to the Ancient Egyptians. While broadly true (apart from the needless character assassination at the end) it deserves some elucidation. 1) By the time of the Late Period the Egyptians may have had access to Iron. Otherwise they were a bronze age ( Arsenical copper) culture. 2) The point of Egypt having no square is controversial. Obviously they had the wooden square and plumb bob, but how effective would such tools have been in the heat of Egypt? Moreover how would they have been constructed given the lack of compasses, dividers or calipers. The earliest evidence for these is the first millenium B.C. Modern tools are made of exotic pieces of metal, even those designed for indoors. 3) As with the compasses, the camel does not make its appearance until after 1000 B.C. Of course Egyptians had the donkey, but roads were poor and even copper had to be mined and laboriously gathered by the Red Sea. 4) By the time of the Middle Kingdom Egypt had acquired the chariot wheel and begun to use bronze but had weirdly abandoned the pyramid. 5) During the Late Period after 1000 BC Egypt fell under the domination of foreign powers and exhibited their cultural effects: it is at this time that coinage, the camel and the compass dividers appear. Minister of State for Antiquities comes much later.

Hello love your videos I know how they built these structures they formed the shapes with timber then poured the limestone and granite called geo polymer hardest part of this was crushing the stone this is known as reconstituted stone

That's not wind erosion, that's water. Otherwise you'd see on the all parts of the pyramid. It's clear the water only came up to a certain height.

[@iancanty9875]

I love your videos . The way you investigate and present knowledge is so relaxing to watch. You just gained one more subscriber. Those who were hired to demolish the pyramid must’ve been quite stupid to start at a point where the stones were enclosed at the sides. Anyone with even a modicum of common sense would start at the top and simply lever the stones off. Saladin’s son must’ve been of quite low intellect & intelligence. It’s beyond comprehension why he would want to do such an act of wanton vandalism.

[@ancientsitesgirl]

Yeah, the whole "shipping artifacts to England for further study" is a particularly infuriating thing. (for me, anyway.) I just have a _huge_ problem with them taking so much Egyptian property away, in the name of "academia" or not. Or, whether or not some priceless historically significant megalithic structures, like sarcophagi, bas reliefs, statuary, or even pillars and obelisks. Of course, the straight up looting and plundering wasn't limited to just the Colonial-era English. The French, Germans, Dutch, and even America, Canada, and Australia got in on the act,, as well. We all know about the two Egyptian obelisks that were originally set up at the Luxor Temple by Pharaoh Ramses II. The ancient Egyptian obelisk that stands on the Place de la Concorde in central Paris, arrived in France on 10 May 1833. What, I wonder, would the British people or especially the government or Monarchy think if one day groups of Egyptian "Scholars" showed up on the Salisbury plain and began dismantling, packing up, and shipping away the blocks of Stonehenge?! Something tells me they wouldn't like that at all lol what would the French think if Greek "Archaeologists" appeared outside of Lascaux caves, and saw them starting to chip off and haul away the infamous prehistoric early hunan cave paintings? Even if they assured them it was being sent off to Athens for "further studies." It's just insulting. These places, especially Egypt, have perfectly adequate museums and universities of their own, some actually being considered "state of the art." Every _scrap_ of ancient, (or even more modern,) artifacts, monuments, (or whatever!) _(Property,)_ should be returned to the rightful owners, and it shouldn't happen any less enthusiastically or with any less immediacy than when it was all stolen away originally. That's just me talking, though. ✌ #DontShootTheMessenger
